It achieved total income of ₹64.26 crore, against ₹50.65 crore in the same period last year. Financial expenses increased to ₹25.24 crore from ₹20.86 crore during the corresponding period last year, while the average loan book grew 29 per cent.

Car financing According to Thomas George Muthoot, Managing Director of Muthoot Capital Services, the aim is to emerge as a leading national player in the two-wheeler loans space.

Given the huge demand-gap vacuum in the used car segment, he said there are also plans to foray into new car/used car financing segment.

R Manomohanan, Chief Executive Officer, said the company is targeting major growth from North Indian States and West Bengal in the current financial year.

Funding sources “We are on the lookout for additional sources of funding, including NCDs (non-convertible debentures), which will be done through public issue and private placement, CPs (commercial papers), securitisation, etc, in addition to the traditional sources of bank loans and public deposits,” he said.
